For a sense of comparison, "#ALIVE" holds 31% of all ticket reservations even though, unlike "Peninsula" it is a movie that can be watched right now as it has already been released in theaters. "Peninsula" will come out on July 15th, and seems certain to make a major impact as it is unusual for movie to charts in online reservations this early before release.
